“They love seeing what goes on behind the scenes, what we do, what the facilities inside the tournaments look like. ” “But for the players, it’s a bit strange because we don’t really have anywhere to relax anymore. We’re constantly thinking there are cameras and that everyone is watching us.
” “Having cameras so close, able to see what we’re watching on our phones—I think that’s too much. ” “We already don’t have much privacy in tournaments, and I think this is too much. We should have spaces where we can be alone without being filmed.
